Magnificent Prayer #357
My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message.
John 17:20
If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies. Yet distance makes no difference. He is praying for me.
ROBERT MURRAY MCCHEYNE
Pray About It: Because we do not see Him or hear Him, we are prone to forget that Christ is ever-interceding for us. Not only is He praying for us now, but on that day 2,000 years ago, He prayed for us before we were born—we are those who believe in Him because of His disciples’ message. Time means nothing to God. Distance means nothing. He is there in your place of prayer, as always.
Today, listen carefully to hear Christ as He mentions your name to the Father.
Praying on our behalf is the most important part of the present ministry of our risen Lord.
